In this comparison, we will be looking at two high-performance summer tyres, the Falken Azenis FK510 and the Pirelli P ZERO.


Introducing the Falken Azenis FK510, a tyre that has been rated at 90% by our experts. This tyre is manufactured in Japan and Turkey and has not been succeeded by a newer model. Designed for a comfortable and reliable ride, it offers excellent wet and dry performance at an affordable price.


On the other hand, we have the Pirelli P ZERO, a well-known tyre with an 88% rating from our experts. Made in Italy, this tyre offers excellent grip and handling in both wet and dry conditions.


Upon reviewing several tests conducted on both tyres, we can conclude as follows:


The Falken Azenis FK510 outperformed the Pirelli P ZERO in several tests, including: ACE (1st place out of 11 tyres) and Sportscars (4th place out of 9 tyres). Additionally, the Falken tyre features an impressive exterior noise level, wet braking, and wet handling, making it an ideal choice for drivers who value comfort and safety.


However, the Pirelli P ZERO secured better positions in the following tests: AutoMotorSport (4th place out of 11 tyres), Autobild (4th place out of 53 tyres), and GTÜ (4th place out of 14 tyres). This tyre received praise for its dry handling, wet circle cornering, and dry braking performance.


In summary, the Falken Azenis FK510 offers a comfortable and quiet ride, with very good wet performance, while the Pirelli P ZERO offers excellent dry and wet grip and handling. The Falken tyre is a good choice for drivers who prioritize comfort and wet performance, whereas the Pirelli tyre is a better fit for those who require top-notch dry and wet performance.


Both tyre manufacturers, Falken and Pirelli, are known to produce high-quality summer tyres. While the Falken Azenis FK510 edged out the Pirelli P ZERO in some tests, each tyre has its own strengths and weaknesses. It is essential to consider your driving needs and preferences when making your decision.
